Oatmeal Scotchies

I got this recipe off the back of the butterscotch package.  My husband being a butterscotch enthusiast, I thought he would like these :)  He did!  However, I feel that these cookies need a disclaimer, they don't look like I thought they would when they came out of the oven.  They look more like a lace cookie or something like that.  Very thin and can be crunchy if you bake them too long - so be warned!  Yummy and different, but not what I expected!  That being said, they are a good change of pace cookie and perfect for the fall weather we've been having.

For these cookies, you'll need:

• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups quick or old fashioned oats (I used old fashioned, bc I'm old fashinoned like that :)
• 11 oz pkg Butterscotch Morsels

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in small bowl.

Beat butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla in large mixer bowl.

I thought it was strange that it didn't make that much batter - that was my first tip off that these cookies were going to be different :)  Gradually beat in flour mixture until all mixed.

Then add butterscotch and oats.  Stir - this is the hard part!!

Drop by rounded tablespoon on parchment paper.  Bake at 7-8 minutes at 375 for chewy cookies; 9-10 minutes for crisp cookies.  Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Here they are fresh out of the oven~

And here they are - aren't they pretty for fall??  And another warning, this recipe makes a TON so be ready to EAT!!  Enjoy, Cowtown Friends! :)
